Lloyd Banks Gets Out Today; Case Continues

The attorney for G-Unit rapper Lloyd Banks has come forward to talk about his clients current condition after being arrested on assault and robbery charges in Canada over the weekend. Patrick Ducharme says that Banks should be released today (January 12th). "There has been an agreement between the prosecution and defense for his release and the release for each of the individuals," he says. "I expect for him to be released [Tuesday] morning. It's just a question of posting some bail…the case probably will proceed on the basis that it will be put over for three to four weeks for me to receive what is called the 'prosecutors disclosure.' That's all the information that supposedly supports the charges. Then three to four weeks after I've had the chance to review that disclosure, I would be prepared to set the date for the trial or preliminary hearing, depending on some procedural matters. The case will proceed through the courts. If it stays in the lower courts, it takes about a year and a few months to resolve. If it goes to the higher courts, it could be as along as a year and a half to bring the matter to court." [Lloyd Banks Arrested – News Report – Watch Here]

Previously the alleged victim of Lloyd Banks talked about what he said went down. "It was at Blanford, Ontario, [I was just the booking agent,] correct,"
Hines said. "There's a little more to the story, like I
said, I don't want to get in to it too much. But the most accurate
story of all of them is on MTV which has got put up right now. MTV.com,
that's the most accurate of all stories. But he was paid in advance. We
got into a confrontation of course, they assaulted me and kept me there
for a little while. It was
probably like for 20 minutes, 30 minutes. They had me there for quite
some time. But so far, the things I'm seeing online, the most accurate
is on MTV. Like, I worked for the guys for years and I don't really
know what the f*ck they were thinking, if they were watching a movie
earlier I don't know what that's about. The whole incident that night
had nothing to do with me and everybody knows that." [Lloyd Banks Alleged Victim Chris Hines Speaks Out – Listen Here]
